2016 Map of Emory North

About this map

Emory and the surrounding Rains County landscape are defined by an intricate network of waterways and small rural cemeteries. This 2016 survey shows the town at the intersection of local routes near Glade Cr and Brushy Cr. To the west, the settlement of Point is situated along the railroad, while the northern reaches of the quadrangle are primarily agricultural, marked by the triple junction of Hunt, Hopkins, and Rains Counties. The land is drained by Lake Fork Cr and its numerous tributaries, including Rice Br and Buckeye Br, which feed into local landmarks like Montgomery Lake and Burns Lake. For genealogists, the map is particularly valuable for its documentation of many small family and community burial grounds such as Richland-Benton Hill Cem, Worcester-Cooper Cem, and Prairie Grove Cem, scattered across the countryside between Dougherty and the county seat.
